The \u201cNi\u00f1os en la situaci\u00f3n de la calle\u201d program continues to provide boys in the community with lunch every day. Previously, the boys gathered in the Boca Chica office to share a meal donated by a local resort. Now they gather in the local trade school \u201cLa Casona\u201d to share a meal cooked by Caminante employees.The boys eat their lunch in the yard in order to ensure proper social distancing and safety for everyone involved. Our \u201cNi\u00f1as Primeras\u201d program continues to meet virtually via Whatsapp to continue working on educational curriculum related to Human Rights as well as themes of empowerment and healthy relationship<\/span>s. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin: 5px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp_Image_2020-05-21_at_2.06.40_PM.jpeg\" alt=\"WhatsApp_Image_2020-05-21_at_2.06.40_PM.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/>The girls recently worked together to create a video to send to their mothers in honor of Mother\u2019s Day in the Dominican Republic (celebrated May 31). Each girl filmed a portion of the video individually since they were unable to gather to record in person. The Caminante team continues their weekly meetings via Zoom and are looking forward to a time soon when they will be able to gather in person again. Until then, Caminante continues to find new and innovative ways to cater to the needs of their community in Boca Chica. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embedly-embed\" src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F426860352%3Fapp_id%3D122963&amp;dntp=1&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;display_name=Vimeo&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F426860352&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vimeocdn.com%2Fvideo%2F905460170_640.jpg&amp;key=e23856ccc1f011e0b5e44040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Vimeo embed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Prayer and Mission Moment by Kaitlin Thompson<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mission Partners in the Dominican Republic<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"row padtopmore padbottommore\">\n<ul class=\"basic f1_cty_dominican_republic partner_lac\">\n<li class=\"f1\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_alfalit_domicano\" target=\"_blank\">Alfalit Dominicano<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"f1\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/caminante_dr\" target=\"_blank\">Caminante<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"f1\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_acociacion_centro_cristiano\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Center of Family Counseling (CECAF)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"f1\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_iglesia_evangelica_dominicana\" target=\"_blank\">Evangelical Church of the Dominican Republic (IED)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"f1\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_servicio_social_de_iglesias\" target=\"_blank\">Social Services of the Dominican Churches (SSID)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>More information on the Dominican Republic<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dominican_republic\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dominican_republic<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Ministries Mission Co-worker in the Dominican Republic<\/strong><strong>:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"flush\">Kaitlin Thompson serves with Proyecto Caminante in the Dominican Republic.
